Running Boards with or without lights


My 2012 F450 Chasis DRW 4X4 did not come with running boards.

I see some for sale with lights on them. Do all F450s have the plug in for light underneath?

Not sure on F450s. On the lighter Superduty trucks, the Ford harnesses were there on XLT with Premium Package and the higher trim levels (Lariat, King Ranch, etc.)

Crawl under the cab at the back of the rear doors. Look up at the Frame rails, just forward of the rear cab mounts. If you have them, you will see capped connectors mounted to the inside of the frame rails on right and left side.

Were these connectors only on crew cab trucks or did super cab trucks have them as well. My truck is XLT with everything that the lariats have except leather, but it is a super cab. I will have to look, unless somebody already knows whether or not it has this connector..
